Sharing of practices that will inspire actions that lead to positive change when participants go home

Time for networking and creative exchanges before, during, and after presentations and workshops

Platforms from which new partnerships will emerge between people with disabilities and their communities, among parents, policymakers, and service providers, between idea generators and professionals, between researchers and trainers, and among Hawaiians, Mainlanders, and international visitors

A venue that is fully accessible and enhances the conference experience

The conference topics for Pac Rim 2019 are Education, Employment, Accessibility, and Health and Wellbeing. Within each of these four themes we are especially interested in presentations that address strategies to develop and use interdisciplinary teams effectively, achieve successful transitions, promote healthy social emotional development, and integrate disabilities studies.
